Windows 11 laptops are required to have a webcam but not a punch card reader. (Bummer, right?)
Seriously?
Will it know it’s a laptop and not a desktop and not let me install if there is not a webcam?
This applies to device-tied installations (PCs that come with Windows 11 preinstalled). Microsoft will not allow manufacturers to sell a laptop without a webcam this way. It needs to be HD at 15 fps, too.
I always cover the punch card reader with a piece of tape, so no one can watch me jerking off to pong on my zoom calls.
